Trevor Cahill is using a new arm slot in Diamondbacks' camp.

Instead of using his standard three-quarters motion, Cahill is now throwing almost straight over the top. The hope is that it will lead to better command. "You don't know if it's good or not until a hitter steps in," said Cahill. "They'll let you know." Cahill had a 5.61 ERA over 110 2/3 innings last season, so it's worth trying something new.

Trevor Cahill gave up four runs in 5 1/3 innings Friday in a no-decision against the Cardinals.

Cahill allowed one run through five before the Cardinals got to him in the sixth. While he looked like the Cahill of old at times in August, the 26-year-old stumbled in September, going 0-4 with a 7.06 ERA to finish 3-12 with a 5.61 ERA overall. He's still owed $12 million next year, so he'll almost certainly be back to compete for a rotation spot. Sat, Sep 27, 2014 02:18:00 AM

Trevor Cahill fell to 3-12 after allowing five runs in five innings in a loss to the Rockies on Saturday.

Cahill allowed 10 hits, two of which were home runs to Josh Rutledge and Corey Dickerson. He did manage to strike out eight and didn't issue a walk. Cahill's nightmarish season will mercifully end soon. He's sitting on a 5.55 ERA with a 1.58 WHIP. Cahill will make his final start of the season at home on Friday against the Cardinals.

Trevor Cahill allowed four runs over four innings in a no-decision against the Padres Sunday.

Cahill's line wasn't terrible, but he was wild, throwing two wild pitches and also hit a batter while giving up five hits. His wildness also played to his advantage, as he struck out seven over his four innings. Cahill still hasn't won in a month, and he'll take a 5.38 ERA into a challenging start against the Rockies in Coors Field on Friday. Sun, Sep 14, 2014 10:00:00 PM

Trevor Cahill allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Sunday.

Cahill was nearly perfect through five innings, but he ran into trouble in the sixth. Cahill gave up a one-out double to Dee Gordon, walked Hanley Ramirez and served up a three-run home run to Adrian Gonzalez that ended up being the difference in the game. The two hits were the only ones allowed by Cahill. He fell to 3-11 with the loss, and Cahill will look for a better fortune Saturday against the Padres.

While three runs isn't awful on the surface(two of those came after Cahill left the game), the reason he was only able to go four innings is that he walked six(!) Padres. He also struck out five and allowed five hits. On the season, Cahill's ERA has now risen to 5.06 and his WHIP to a lofty 1.61.

Trevor Cahill was blasted for eight earned runs over 3 1/3 innings Tuesday in a loss to the Dodgers.

The next time Cahill sees the Dodgers will be too soon -- regardless of the month, temperature, and even continent, they've had his number this season. Cahill was whipped for five runs and eight hits in four innings to kick off his season in Australia on March 23. Then, on April 13, the Dodgers bludgeoned Cahill for seven runs in four innings. That start was so bad Arizona kicked Cahill out of the rotation. Let's put this in perspective: Tonight's performance was the worst of the bunch. Between July 14 (when he was recalled from the minors) and yesterday, Cahill went 2-2 with a 3.43 ERA in seven starts. Luckily for him, no Dodger blue will be in sight with a trip to San Diego on deck.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Angels are not expected to trade for Trevor Cahill.

Cahill has been mentioned as a possibility for the Angels in the wake of the Garrett Richards (knee) injury, but Rosenthal says the two sides last spoke about Cahill weeks ago. CBS Sports' Jon Heyman has reported that the Angels are also considering Bartolo Colon, Scott Feldman and A.J. Burnett, but a deal isn't looking likely at this point. A big reason why is because the Halos have little in the way of trade chips.

Out of the group, Cahill might have the best chance of getting dealt. The sinkerballer has pitched well since rejoining the Arizona rotation, posting a 3.43 ERA over seven starts. His $12 million salary for 2015 could scare some teams off, but a club with a need in the rotation might take a shot.

Trevor Cahill pitched well, but got a no-decision after allowing two runs in 6 1/3 innings in Wednesday's walk-off loss to the Nationals.

Cahill has, for the most part, pitched well since rejoining the rotation to begin the second half. Including Wednesday's outing, he has a 3.43 ERA over his last seven starts. Against the Nationals, he yielded six hits and four walks while striking out five. On the season, Cahill has a 4.54 ERA, a 1.51 WHIP, and a 75/37 K/BB ratio, which he'll take into Tuesday's start at home against the Dodgers.

Trevor Cahill yielded two runs in 6 2/3 innings in a 3-2 win over the Marlins on Friday.

Both runs scored in the first inning. All told, he allowed six hits and three walks while striking out three batters. Cahill still isn't a great option in mixed leagues, but he owns a 2.70 ERA across his last four starts. He'll get the Nationals next week on the road.

Trevor Cahill held the Rockies to three runs -- two earned -- over seven innings Saturday in a win.

It was only the second victory of the season for Cahill, who is now 2-8 with a 4.86 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. He also pitched well last Sunday against the Pirates and is perhaps poised to finish 2014 on a positive note. He will pitch in Miami against the Marlins next.

Trevor Cahill yielded just one run over seven innings but settled for a no-decision in the Diamondbacks' 10-inning, 3-2 win over the Pirates on Sunday.

Cahill turned in easily his best start of the season, and even then the Diamondbacks couldn't reward him with his second win. The right-hander gave up seven hits and one walk, punching out seven in the no-decision. He managed to lower his ERA to 5.12 but his low strikeout total and poor surrounding cast make him tough to stomach in fantasy. He'll take on the Rockies on Saturday.

Trevor Cahill fell to 1-8 on the season after allowing three runs over six innings against the Reds on Tuesday.

Cahill rejoined the D'Backs' rotation to begin the second half. Tuesday's outing was, at the very least, not a nightmare for the right-hander, holding the Reds to seven hits and no walks while striking out three. The control has been better, but he hasn't been missing many bats. On the season, he owns a 5.59 ERA, 1.65 WHIP, and a 53/27 K/BB ratio. He'll try to continue his improvement next Sunday at home against the Pirates.

Trevor Cahill surrendered seven runs -- three earned -- over four innings Wednesday in a loss to the Tigers.

It was an ugly game all around for the Diamondbacks, who lost 11-5. Cahill didn't walk a batter and struck out three, but the Detroit offense tagged him for eight hits. He's 1-7 with a 5.72 ERA and 1.71 WHIP this season.

Owings had been slated to miss the first 8-10 Cactus League games as he works his way back from surgery on his non-throwing shoulder, but it sounds like he could be ready sooner than that. "I don't have an exact (return) date," Hale said, "but he's past where I thought he was." Owings has bounce-back potential as a fantasy option if he's able to stay healthy.

Jeremy Hellickson cut a pitching session short Saturday with a cramp in his right rib cage area.

"I feel fine. It's more of a cramp than anything. It was a precautionary thing to shut it down," Hellickson said. "It doesn't even hurt right now. We did a bunch of tests and nothing bothered it. We'll just treat it a little bit and I'll be fine tomorrow." It doesn't appear to be anything worrisome, but he'll be re-evaluated Sunday.

Arroyo underwent Tommy John elbow surgery last July and probably won't be an option for the Diamondbacks until sometime in August. The veteran right-hander is due $9.5 million this season and carries an $11 million club option (or $4.5 million buyout) for 2016.

Addison Reed (shoulder) is 2-2 1/2 weeks away from throwing off a mound.

Reed has battled some shoulder soreness at the beginning of camp but says it's now completely gone. While the closer is a couple weeks behind his normal schedule, he remains on track to be ready for Opening Day, barring any setbacks. If he should experience a bump in the road and need a disabled list stint, Brad Ziegler would likely fill in at closer. Reed put up a 4.25 ERA and 69/15 K/BB ratio over 59 1/3 innings for the Diamondbacks last season.

Diamondbacks and RHP David Hernandez avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $2 million contract.

Hernandez underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery last April and missed the entire 2014 season, but he should be ready shortly into the 2015 campaign. The 29-year-old reliever was eligible for arbitration for the third and final time. He can become a free agent next offseason.
